As music began to play during Henson's acceptance speech and she was signaled to finish, the actress perhaps best known for her role as Queenie in the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, insisted she needed more time: "'Please wrap?' Wait a minute, I waited 20 years for this. You're going to wait!"

Backstage, Henson dedicated her award to the "haters" who didn't think a show with a gay plotline could be good.

"That's nonsense and it's fear," she told The Advocate and other media. "The numbers speak for themselves. We just kind of ignore it. It is what it is, you know? People are dealing with this. It's not a joke. That's why it's in the script. It's not for show, for sensationalism. People are struggling with this."

Adding, "we're always going to have haters," Henson held up her trophy for the cameras and declared: "Here's to all my haters. I'll send you cookies."

Smith won for the original song, “Writing’s on the Wall,” that he cowrote with Jimmy Napes for the James Bond film “Spectre.” The Advocate's entertainment editor Jase Peeples asked Smith what it means to him, to be an out LGBT person:

Lady Gaga was nominated for her acting performance in American Horror Story: Hotel, on the FX cable network, and won best actress in a limited series or TV movie. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which selects the Golden Globe awards, chose Gaga over Queen Latifah, Felicity Huffman, Sarah Hay and Kirsten Dunst.

Carol, The Danish Girl and Transparent were passed over, as were their stars, directors, and composers.

The Advocate was also backstage when Oscar Isaac spoke to reporters after winning best actor in a limited TV series or movie. Isaac, best known right now for his role as Poe in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, will soon be seen as the villain in X Men: Apocalypse. He spoke movingly about the need for more diversity in Hollywood casting:

"I'm humbled and honored to have the opportunity I've had, and hopefully that will happen more, that the people who cast films and TV shows will hopefully be able to see past their limited ideas."

Host Ricky Gervais returned and didn’t hesitate to make disparaging jokes from the stage as is his custom. Within the first three minutes of his monologue. Gervais had insulted Caitlyn Jenner, women drivers, Jeffrey Tambor and transgender people in general.

As The New York Times pointed out, the toughest job behind the scenes at the Beverly Hilton must have been the poor folks in charge of bleeping out profanity, which was in abundance. And viewers who wondered what it was that Gervais said to Mel Gibson, or want to see it again, can find that here.

Denzel Washington was recognized for his outstanding talent with the Cecil B. DeMille Award, presented by hisPhiladelphia costar, Tom Hanks.

One of the more interesting moments during the show, repeatedly retweeted and Vined, featured Lady Gaga and Leonardo DiCaprio. She bumped into the "Revenant" star on her way to accept her very first Golden Globe. Keep your eyes on her hip and his eyes:

Another one of the mysteries of the evening remains why The Martian competed in the category of "Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy," and how on earth (or on Mars) it won.

The British newspaper The Independent looks at the anger and confusion that has generated online.

The twitterverse seemed to be surprised at some of the TV shows chosen as winners, which beat out more popular programs. MSNBC host, journalist and authorJanet Mock spoke for many with her tweet that she's got plans to binge:
